I have been slowly working toward supporting variables that can be
declared/updated during output generation. This code also cleans up the
code for searching within a scope.
Since there weren't consistent rules for when to include newlines, I
decided to make an explicit tag (similar to HTML's <br /> tag). This can
have a dramatic impact on your existing code (unless it is just HTML).
RegexOptions.Compiled does not seem to improve performance and actually
is a bottleneck in most cases. I am removing it for the time being. I
may add a flag to the FormatCompiler if it is needed in the future.
I was not removing context when I was leaving a tag. This caused the
context to grow indefinitely, which is not a valid representation of
where the placeholder was located in the template.
It could be useful to know the context when discovering a placeholder.
I also renamed MissingKeyEventArgs to KeyNotFoundEventArgs.
I created a new event KeyFoundEventArgs.
It could be useful to track which placeholders were found when parsing
the template. This event will allow keys to be mapped to different keys,
and support changing alignment and formatting.
